Depression/loneliness/boredom- chicken &egg?
I find myself getting periods of being really down - when I just sit and watch TV and do this sort of stuff. I have a job I enjoy, a great partner and a job I love. However, I have few friends and my family is 8 hours away. At times I'm happy with what I got and can't be bothered socialising but at other times I feel very…

Using measurements or scales
This is why I get frustrated. Weights for week Monday- 10 11.0 Wednesday- 10 9.6 Today - 10 11.6 I know two pound increase isn't fat and probably water retention due to starting exercise again but how am I supposed to see if I'm on correct calorie intake when this happens. I know people will say only weigh once a week but…
